In Johannesburg I have a wonderful contacts at Herbert Evans Art Stores in both Rosebank and Fourways. The staff are extremely helpful and keen to search for new calligraphy inks and nibs. So let's be positive and perhaps we will be surprised by the next shipment. Canson, gros grain ribbon and board can be found along the newly set out shelves. If all else fails please speak to Steven or Juanli in Rosebank or Dee at Fourways.
For special papers I find that Paper Cafe in Glenhove Road has some interesting papers and ribbon. Claudia of Scrapalicious in Waverley has lovely scrapbooking paper as does Karin of Kartworks. Please mail me should you wish to make contact. dmoore@iafrica.com
The class work and your dedication is really great, thank you for your enthusiasm.
Tuesday and Thursday homework:
Concertina Books: Please complete as much as you can. Cut covers out of board, 1cm larger all round, than the book size. Please find some suitable paper to cover the board. Paper should be firm and compliment the interior of the book. Grosgrain ribbon to match. [About 2 metres].
Portfolio preparation: Please buy an A2 heavy card for your portfolio cover. Try to find a suitable colour in Canson. Grosgrain ribbon to match. [About 2 metres].
Board for Block pieces. Please buy black backing board/mount board as a background for your abstract block project and heavy duty double-sided tape.
Tin Book Project: Use Canson paper which matches the colours of the tin. I find that 7cmx11cm size pieces work well. Round the corners for a more professional finish. Ten pieces are required. Please prepare more pages should you wish to. Collect quotes for the paper.
Lettering: Please continue to practice the lettering you are learning.
Enjoy the week.
Anne-Marie
